A new transport interaction of dibasic amino acids and citrulline in human kidney.
The oral loading tests of lysine in 9 healthy men and the intravenous loading tests of lysine, ornithine and arginine in 3 healthy men were carried out. The results indicated that the membrane transport system of citrulline in the human kidney was clearly inhibited by dibasic amino acids, lysine, ornithine, and arginine.
